* Yes, sure I did ... Oops, sorry about that. I didn't get that impression from your previous mail. * Anyway: I continue to dislike the change, that makes the * install fail, if the package has already been registered. * I don't care, whether the test is moved up to before the * install, it is the being forced to take special action to * perform an install that just worked before, that I don't * like ... I'm afraid we are in differing opinions here. The old behavior was bad because it did not change the /var/db/pkg dir, and could have missed critical updates to the +* files. You can just re-do the failed installation by "make install FORCE_PKG_INSTALL=yes" (which should be easy enough to cut-n-paste from the error message). If that's too much -- then I have nothing to say. Satoshi
